I used to have a Lancer Evo 1 with Nankang's on. Heard from a few people that they were a cheap version of Yoko's. I found them ok plus a mate had them on his 5 series BMW and loved 'em.
Don't know how well they'd work on a Scooby but used to get some drift / oversteer when powering into corners in the Evo. Probably best for trackdays.

Had a set I got from someone with a Calibra Turbo and stuck 'em on for a (wet) trackday at Croft last June so as not to **** up my Bridgestones. To put it in a nutshell, they were sh1te. Everybody was driving round the outside of me, if I pushed any harder, they would just understeer off on to the grass. Or maybe it's my driving 
Took 'em off and managed to sell them to some unsuspecting Renault driver for £60.

Hello all.
The Nankang has been around for a while, its a good (budget) tyre with a decent life and not bad compound.
Be careful of 2nd hand tyres though if that is what you have got.
